TL;DR: If you are looking for PCC manufacturers for paints and printing inks in India, start with what each producer actually supplies for coatings. Chemical & Mineral Industries Pvt. Ltd. (CMIPL), based in Jodhpur, Rajasthan, supplies its PCC (Vical-D) to paper, food, pharma, cosmetic and rubber users, and serves paints, printing inks and plastics with surface-modified Activated Calcium Carbonate (ACC) in five Vical grades.

PCC or ACC for paints and printing inks?

PCC is calcium carbonate made by chemical precipitation, with controlled particle size and purity. ACC is calcium carbonate with a surface treatment that makes it compatible with polymers and resins, which is why it is the grade used in coatings, inks and plastics. At CMIPL:

• Paints, printing inks and polymer compounding: ACC grades Vical-S, Vical-S1, Vical-SF, Vical-C and Vical-T. See the ACC product page.

• Paper, food, pharma, cosmetics, toothpaste and rubber: PCC Vical-D. See the PCC product page.

What to ask any supplier of minerals for paints and inks

• Whiteness: the value for the exact grade, and no yellowish tint in white and pastel finishes.

• Particle size: the size range and the coarse fraction, since coarse grit hurts sheen, texture and print quality.

• Consistency: how the supplier keeps lots the same from batch to batch.

• Supply: kiln capacity and delivery reliability for continuous production.

Ask for a technical data sheet for each of these, and test the grade in your own formulation before you commit.
